Spicy Apple Drink

Gently warm a pint of water with 4 tablespoons of apple juice concentrate, a pinch of cinnamon and two cloves. If you can't get hold of apple concentrate ordinary apple juice is just as good. Simmer for a 5 minutes remove the
cloves and enjoy.

Hot Banana Shake

Soya milk or dairy milk work equally well. Blend a banana, a pint of milk and a tablespoon of brown sugar. If you haven't a blender don't want to use electricity, it is possible to use a fork to mash the banana up!

Transfer to a saucepan and gently warm. Perfect to keep Jack Frost away!

Orange Lemon and Ginger Swinger

For this recipe you can either use freshly squeezed orange juice, or a carton of fresh orange juice.

Gently warm one pint of fresh orange juice, the juice of one lemon, and a small (approx 2cm) cube of ginger root, which needs to be either chopped up or bashed with a rolling pin to release the juice. Simmer the liquid for
five minutes, remove the ginger and enjoy.
